As Kapoors gets trolled for Randhir Kapoor's birthday party after brother Rajiv's death, he says it was 'solemn affair'

The Kapoor family--including Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, and others--paid Randhir Kapoor a visit on his 74th birthday dinner on Sunday night. The actor has said that it was a solemn affair.

Actor Randhir Kapoor, who turned 74 on Monday, has said that his birthday dinner with family was a 'solemn affair'. Randhir lost his brother Rajiv Kapoor last week.

On Sunday, pictures of his daughters Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor, son-in-law Saif Ali Khan, nephew Ranbir Kapoor, and other family members were posted on the internet. They were all seen arriving at Randhir's home for his birthday. A few people on social media, however, trolled them for 'having a party', days after Rajiv's death.

Speaking to SpotboyE, Randhir has said that there was no celebration. "It was a small meet-up. A solemn affair. There was no celebration. We are missing my younger brother Rajiv. He passed away last week due to a heart attack. It was a shocking, sudden death. We are yet to come to terms with it.”

The Kapoor family has suffered huge losses over the last two years. In January 2020, Randhir lost his sister Ritu Nanda, in April, his brother Rishi Kapoor, and now Rajiv. “That’s destiny I guess. This is a part of life. If you get good things, you must endure the tough times also," he said in the same interview.

Earlier, speaking about Rajiv, he had said that he is left alone in the house. Randhir told ETimes, "Rajiv was a very gentle and extremely jovial person. It is so tough to believe that he is gone. He had no medical history. His health was simply fine; he had no problems whatsoever."

"I don't know what's happening. I was equally close to Rishi and Rajiv. I have lost four people from my family--my mother Krishna Kapoor (October 2018), eldest sister Ritu (January 14, 2020), Rishi and now Rajiv. These four were my central core, with whom I did most of my talking," he had said.
